Department of Transportation Launches "Drive Sober" Initiative

The United States Department of Transportation has started its annual “Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative aimed at reducing
drunk driving accidents and raising awareness of the serious risks that this dangerous behavior
continues to pose in the United States. The initiative, which runs until
September 2nd, involves the efforts of more than 10,000 police departments
and law enforcement agencies across the country in cracking down on this
dangerous behavior.

Additionally, the Department will also be running a national advertising
campaign aimed at making the public aware of this increased police presence
and warning of the dangers of driving drunk. This year, the focus of the
campaign will be on those who are killed in drunk driving accidents who
were not themselves driving drunk. According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Association’s data, 3,371 individuals were killed in these types of
car accidents in 2011.

At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we know just how devastating drunk
driving accidents can be for victims, and we are committed to helping
